Depeche Mode Worldwide Tour

During a press conference in Paris, members of Depeche Mode revealed their 2013 worldwide tour beginning in Israel in early May. The initial itinerary runs through late July and includes stops in Athens, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and Lisbon.

So far, Depeche Mode hasn’t released a routing for North America, but the newly announced Euro agenda shows the band playing mostly stadiums as well as hitting a few festivals such as the Borlange Peace & Love Festival in Sweden, the Optimus Alive Fest in Portugal and the Rock Werchter Fest in Belgium.

Band members also talked about a new, yet to be named album, saying they recorded “about 20 songs” and will narrow that amount down for the new release. Members also said they had finished recording the album only “a couple of days ago.”
